Product Description
IOGEAR GCS62 MiniVIew Micro 2-Port KVM Switch - Many people have 2 computers. Just because you upgrade to the latest & greatest, doesn't mean you throw away your old PC. It's still good for storage space, running more basic applications, or anything else you can dream up. But what many people don't have is room for a 2nd monitor, keyboard, & mouse. That's where the MiniView Micro 2-Port KVM Switch comes in! This extremely small device has two separate sets of monitor, PS/2 keyboard & mouse cables that connect to each PC. Your single monitor, PS/2 keyboard & mouse connect to the little device - and with the touch of a button you can switch your display & control between the two machines! Built-in AutoScan mode LEDs allow for easy status monitoring 3 Year Limited Warranty

 Video Degradation & Freezing Mouse December 28, 2008
The tech specs on Amazon.com state that this product works with resolutions up to 1920x1440. However, on my 1680x1050 monitor, the video degradation was unacceptable. It flattened everything and made the video slightly, and annoyingly, blurry.
In addition, the mouse kept freezing at random intervals for a few seconds.
Both of these made it difficult to work and play, so I returned it.
I was intending to use this to switch between my main Windows machine and a box running Linux. For now, I am accessing the Linux machine via a remote desktop program called FreeNX: [..]
With FreeNX, I can't see the Linux system during bootup or shutdown, and I have to have my Windows machine on, but that's fine for what I'm doing now and it otherwise works great. It pretty much negates the need for a KVM switch, or at least can help [..]
People trying to switch between two Windows machines might want to look into similar programs, such as UltraVNC. (Windows does have a remote desktop feature, but XP Home cannot be accessed via the Windows remote desktop program.) Here's a list of some remote desktop software:

 Good Product October 3, 2008
It worked without any problems. The only thing that it lacks of is an option where the hotkey can be changed.
kmv switch September 30, 2008
did not get to try it out......... ended up being the wrong item for the application i needed.
works as advertised July 27, 2008
I purchased several of these for use around the office. They installed with no problems and continue to work without failure.
I would buy more, but at this point I think most everyone has moved away from PS2 connections.
 Fine product at a reasonable price July 20, 2008
I bought this a few days ago to connect to my Dell and Shuttle PCs. Installation is nothing more than connecting the cables, and it has performed flawlessly. No problems with video quality or non-responsive mouse when switching computers.
